Each year in lieu of speaker gifts, the Soils and Crops committee donates $50.00 per invited speaker to an agricultural charity.
For the 2022 conference, the committee will be donating $800.00 to the Farm Stress Line.
The Farm Stress Line, run by trained, professional staff, is available to farming and rural communities 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. We are ready to listen, support and refer callers to ongoing supports. Anyone can call, and there is no limit to the times you can contact the Farm Stress Line. There are no fees and we do not subscribe to call display.
The best way to reach us is by telephone at 1 800 667 4442. Our website: http://www.farmstressline.ca has resource listings for mental health, crisis and emergency services available within the province. You can also reach us by email (not monitored 24 hours a day).
